Turn the tables on advanced attackers inside your network

Attackers who gain access to your environment undetected think they've already won. Deploy deception technology for a proactive defense that lures and reveals sophisticated bad actors through realistic decoys.

Stop lateral movement

by cutting off attackers with convincing honeypots

Disrupt ransomware early

in any stage of an attack, limiting the blast radius

Detect compromised users

and the abuse of stolen credentials

The Problem

Attackers compromise zero trust environments through users and apps

When attackers compromise a trusted identity, they can use that access to move laterally, escalate privileges, and hunt down valuable data to encrypt, steal, or destroy. Traditional security tools that rely on signatures or malicious behavior don't detect ransomware, supply chain exploits, or other stealthy attacks carried out by legitimate-looking users.

Product Overview

Detect advanced threats that bypass existing defenses

Zscaler Deception deploys realistic decoys across your environment to lure, detect, and intercept active attackers. When a compromised user interacts with a decoy, your team gets an immediate alert—attackers never know they've been caught until it's too late.

As part of the cloud native Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ platform, Deception can rapidly and seamlessly deploy high-fidelity threat detection throughout your enterprise.

De-risk your attack surface

Divert malicious actors away from critical targets like endpoints, identity systems, networks, applications, and the cloud.

Detect threats that matter, faster

Detect compromised users, lateral movement, and ransomware with high-confidence IOCs and near-zero false positives.

Contain threats in real time

Leverage zero trust access policies to dynamically limit or cut off access to sensitive SaaS services and internal applications.

Zscaler is a Leader for two consecutive years in the GigaOm Radar for Deception Technology.

Benefits

Take a fresh approach to targeted threat detection

Protect users and applications with decoys

Silently detect threats and attacker activity with endpoint lures as well as decoy applications, servers, users, and other resources.

Speed up incident response and reduce alert fatigue

Rapidly notify your security team of confirmed threats and breaches, with no false positives or added operational overhead.

Put the burden of success back on attackers

Replace your attack surface with convincing fake targets attackers can't resist, and catch them the moment they take the bait.
